Influences: I started writing music when I was 13 years old. I was in a punk rock band called "Public Disturbance" and let me tell thats what we sounded like, a public disturbance hahaha.Then when I got to high school I joined an industrial band where I wrote all the music and got really into that "electronic" sound. Thats when I bought my first keyboard a Korg Poly 800. I would run it through crazy effect and used my 8 track recorder to sync the synths with our band.A few years later I left the band and formed a more rock/goth/radiohead band called "Lost Marbles" It was in this project that I realized I wanted to go way more electronic and so did the singer.That is when we formed a trance rock band called "Dead as Dreams" and thats pretty much where the project went was dead.Then in 2000 that is when I decided to do a solo Live P.A. act called "Xraystar" It is then when my carear really took off. I played my first rave in 2001 called "Fun Factory" and the "Sun Festival"In 2005 i decided to give the whole band thing another try and joined the group "Andranda" It was with this band where my production skills shined and played everywhere in town. It was then when i had my first realesed full lenth album called "The Enchanted Experiment" That project ended in 2007 when a few of the members moved to London.So the past year I decided to get back on the solo gig and have been in the process of writing a new full length album under my name "Ben Hook" which I hope to be finished with in spring 08 with a realese in summer 08.I will never stop following my dreams with music no matter what bumps in the road come becasue they are all learning expereiences that help impove my life and music.
